What happens when the version of you that worked… no longer fits?
In this episode of The Main Character Experience Podcast, Kala Simmons dives into the often-overlooked side of personal growth: identity shifts. From losing the ability to wear heels at work to spending months in scrubs just to survive demanding seasons, this episode explores how confidence, self-expression, and ownership evolve over time.
Kala shares a personal story about how a workplace dress code change sparked a deeper realization—her wardrobe wasn’t the only thing that needed to evolve. As life demanded more flexibility, leadership, and resilience, she found herself living in survival mode. And when the space finally returned to choose, she discovered she had outgrown the version of herself she once knew.
This episode is a powerful reminder that growth doesn’t mean abandoning who you were—it means honoring her while allowing yourself to become who you’re meant to be next.
If you’ve ever felt misaligned in your identity, style, confidence, or direction—or found yourself performing an old version of yourself because it once worked—this conversation will resonate deeply.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Identity shifts and personal growth
- What it means to truly own who you are now
- Confidence beyond performance and appearance
- Outgrowing old versions of yourself
- Radical responsibility and self-leadership
- Letting go of outdated identities
- Choosing alignment over nostalgia
